EasySpot

An Android app that allows you to turn on (or off) your hotspot remotely via Bluetooth - think Apple Continuity, but for everyone!

Requirements

An Android phone
- with Android 12 or higher
- with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) advertising support
- with Shizuku installed and running
The client program on a computer with Bluetooth Low Energy or nRF Connect Mobile on another BLE-capable phone

Setup

Install and set up Shizuku
Install the EasySpot app from GitHub Releases
Open the app and grant all permissions
Follow the instructions in the client's README to set up the client program

TODO

Android 11 and lower support
More robust, Rust-based client with a system tray icon and WiFi auto-connection
Android client
More hotspot control methods for improved reliability on different OS versions
About menu

BLE API

This app exposes a BLE GATT service to allow remote control of the hotspot.

Service UUID: 7baad717-1551-45e1-b852-78d20c7211ec
Status characteristic UUID: 47436878-5308-40f9-9c29-82c2cb87f595
- Properties: Write, Read, Notify
- Values: [0x00] (hotspot off), [0x01] (hotspot on)

The app's settings (gear icon in the top right) allow you to configure the security options ( encryption, MITM protection) - it's set to encrypted (pairing required) without MITM protection by default.

Implementation details can be found in xyz.ggorg.easyspot.service.server.

How Shizuku is used

Can turn the Wi-Fi hotspot on and off remotely via Bluetooth with `ITetheringConnector` through Shizuku.

This is an AI-assisted analysis of Shizuku-related usages in the app's public source code. It is best effort, so it may not catch every single usage.

How this app uses Shizuku

Shizuku is used to access the system tethering and Wi-Fi services so the hotspot can be controlled by a paired Bluetooth device.

Control hotspot remotely: a paired device writing to the Bluetooth hotspot characteristic turns the Wi-Fi hotspot on or off through the privileged tethering service.
Track hotspot status: the app listens for hotspot state changes through the privileged Wi-Fi service so it knows whether the hotspot is enabled and can report it to connected Bluetooth devices.
